Send budding astronauts’ love of space stratospheric with Olivia’s Space Academy (41713) space rocket toy. Kids join LEGO Friends mini dolls to train for space adventures. The space toy for kids 8+ years old is packed with authentic features: from the thrusters on the LEGO Space Shuttle to the virtual reality simulator. Beyond the play, there’s more fun learning – all the imagery in the academy is scientifically correct and the classroom’s whiteboard features real spaceflight equations.

Children who are into spaceship and astronaut toys will love this space shuttle toy model. The payload bay opens via hinged doors, just like the real thing, and mini dolls attach to the toy Canadarm to explore space. Back on Earth, there’s a telescope, a multi-axis trainer, mission control and a space gallery with a Sun, Earth and Moon orbiting model.

This educational science toy comes with instructions for the digital age. Using the LEGO Building Instructions app, little science fans can zoom, rotate and visualise a digital version of their model as they build.

The academy measures over 10 in. (26 cm) high, 8 in. (21 cm.) wide and 3 in. (10 cm) deep, and the Shuttle measures over 3 in. (8 cm) high, 9 in. (23 cm) long and 5 in. (15 cm) wide.
